I'm fairly certain Clarkson historically got himself into trouble for his Sun column and/or social media, whilst presenting Top Gear.
Heaven forbid if Piers Morgan had been presenting on a BBC programme, rather than ITV (or now Talk TV), what headaches the BBC would have had over his opinions.
The axing of Kilroy in 2004 saw it replaced with a extended half hour of BBC Breakfast, followed by a new show produced by his company called Now You're Talking, presented by Julia Sawalha's sister Nadia and Nicky Campbell.
That didn't last long and Breakfast reverted to a 9.15am finish. (Until next year).
